Bendix ABS Fault Codes
To access Bendix Blink Codes you must select the Auxiliary Circuit and press the
control knob to cycle the Brake Light Circuit the appropriate number of times using the following directions.
Update: Bendix ACOM Pro is now available for download.
NOTE: An important differences between ACom and ACom Pro is that the new software is included for free with all active JPRO subscriptions, which means that if you already have JPRO then you can use Bendix ACOM Pro at no extra cost.
See table below for modes and sequences:
| Mode | Cycle Brake Light Power |
|---|---|
| Display Active DTCs | 3 times |
| Display Inactive DTCs | 4 times |
| Clear Active DTCs | 5 times |
| Display Configuration | 6 times |
| Display Odometer Mileage | 7 times |
| Reset Configuration | 8 times |
- Make sure trailer is stationary and wheels are properly chocked.
- On the MUTT, turn the control knob to select the Auxiliary Circuit
- Push the control knob to cycle the Brake Light Circuit for each desired Cycle in one second intervals.
- Count number of blinks on Trailer ABS Lamp, see chart below for specific fault info.
